Re: Drawing Text to a decompressed video frame

if you only want the visual appearance of text on top of video but don't need the actual text "in" the bitmap, then you could also have a look at window layering. You basically create a new window place it on top of the videstream, make the window transparent and then just draw what you need to draw (transparently) onto your own window. The Windows WDM will then be responsible for proper painting of everything.
